Cat who Survived Cancer plus Cute Cat and Kitten Pictures

This is Tigger...he belonged to my owner's Mom. Tigger had an extra toe on both of his front feet...someone told us that cats with an extra toe were desirable on ships, maybe because they can balance better? We aren't sure, but know that they helped to keep the rodent population down.

Tigger had an intestinal tumor over 2 years ago, and had lost so much weight that he was bony and sad looking. He had surgery, and did well for quite a long time. This picture was taken after he put on weight...he gained even more over time.

January 31, 2011 Update - After doing well for over 2 years, Tigger's cancer has returned. He is still eating, jumping up on things, but thin, and the vet has told my owner's Mom that when she is ready, it is time to say goodbye. Mom is heart-broken. Say a prayer for her. I'll keep you updated.

February 4, 2011 Update - Tigger finished his battle with cancer peacefully in his owner's arms today after quite a bit of affection was passed between the two of them. My owner's Mom will miss Tigger very much, and she is thankful for the company Tigger gave her during some challenging times in life, and we all feel sad when it's time to say goodbye. We're glad she had the two other kitties below to come home to.

This is Penny. Penny moved in with my owner's Mom a few years ago as a rascally little kitten. She is a beautiful cat, keeps herself spotless, and runs like a flash, so fast she can run along the front of the couch and a wall sideways.

At first Penny and Tigger didn't get along very well, but Penny took a nurturing role during Tiggers last days. Now we hope that she will befriend the next kitty you will meet who has been kind of left in the sidelines by Tigger and Penny who would gang up on her.

I'm a dog so don't understand how people can like cats. Every pet owner loves their pet...or wants to love their pet...but sometimes our pets make it hard for us to love them.

Or maybe you just want your pet to learn a thing or two...cats CAN learn, but you have to know what you are doing, and we found a lady that knows her cats and knows how to train them.

You really must visit this link. You get free goodies when you order, and a happy life with your feline family members.

This is Riley, the gentlest cat of the three (now two) that live in the same house with my owner's Mom.

Riley was so busy trying to rub against my owner affectionately, that it was hard to get him to sit still for a picture. He spent most of the time in one room in the house because the other two cats were not too friendly with him, but now that Tigger is gone, we hope that will change.

You can pick this cat up and do anything with him, he never scratches or nips at you like the other two cats...and we like that...even though my owner's Mom says that when cats nip and scratch, they are "affectionate" scratches and nips.
